Welcome to a weak modoki el Niño folks!
-
It proves the Euro is definitely not infallible.
-
Research, newspaper articles, weather records but also DPW reports and interviews from when I did a big weather project from years ago. I have many facts in my head from those.

It's all good Ray. I wasn't born until December 1977 so I wasn't around either. I'm just throwing out weather stats and junk. But at least we both know that we live in an area than can get some really good synoptic area snowstorms. That I love.

Wilmington got 30". They let the snow settle just like Bedford, MA did which got 33" but had 30" on settled ground. But Reading, MA got the 36" amount you speak of but started with about 13" on the ground to make it 40" on settled ground total. However, a closer look reveals that the difference between the 40" ground total and 13" prior on the ground = 27 total" So there you go.

Harvey Leonard is Legendary.

What you just described sounds a little more like the Blizzard of 1978.
-
Too much -NAO is never good but some of the big ones for us had a least moderate intensity ones such as Feb '69, Feb'78, Jan '05. Things like that make weenies yore.

Nam tends to be a touch over amped but right idea potentially.
-
Starts off as a mix of rain, wet snow and ice turning to snow. Not good to have underneath.
-
Actually, I'm remembering the early 1980's and early 1990's for the the Boston area and its surrounding burbs. These days with all the over-hype and weenie measurements with no settling, it just takes away the normality of what it used to be.
-
Nobody at Logan International wants to take the blame or the glory.
-
Nah, we actually have each other like you and of course the PNS reports around and even in the city of Boston. However, you are absolutely correct when it comes to the "Professional" measurement taken directly a Logan International. This needs to be fixed.
-
I miss the days when an old fashioned northeaster would just give an 8"-12" snow in the heart of our viewing area in about 10 hours. They don't make them like that any more.
-
It's kind of interesting how you and I think here. Your gradient seems to want to go from I-84 in Conneticut to I-90 to Boston. Mine is actually from I-84 to Route 44 to Plymouth. I find that interesting. The battle of a good 40 mile difference in gradient this year begins.
-
Totally agree with your statement.
-
All I can add right now is that the pattern looks a little bit better than it did a day ago so at least that's something for this weather board I guess.
-
Actually, Bos but wasn't recorded before the rain broke it down to 0.1. So Bos did and as most know but the PNS didn't show it. Oh, well.
-
'Tis the season of "YORE".
-
I think what he's saying for his crew down there in New Jersey is the gradient is not as favorable as maybe our neck of the woods.
-
Guys there's still time to get a sneak attack of 4-8" and even an 8-12" storm. Things can happen around here. It's only Dec 12, right now.
-
Ray, I think you meant December of 1976 before it turned to the Winter of 1977. Late December after Christmas the Boston area cashed in an salvaged that December. Even though as you have stated it was not a "Modoki", it still was a general weak El Nino. In other words, its pattern fits overall. The 68/69, 76/77, 77/78, 86/87, 02/03, 04/05/, 06/07, 14/15 all have simliar patterns. I take them collectively not individually which some on this weather board, not you, have semed to do.
-
Yes, that's what I was getting at. That Feb 9th 1994 storm with it's extra ocean effect really helped the Boston area and immediate coastline in that. Just a hop, skip and jump inland genarally 75-80" for the season of course. But who the hell would mind that now is beyond me.
-
I agree fully with your statement. Lots of Alberta Clippers slowed down that year with direct hits occuring with 6"-12". Not bad at the end with a 90-100" snowfall winter. I don't think the heart of our viewing area would mind that at all right now.

GGEM usually runs too wet and amped, GFS as we all know is a little progressive but closer to reality. Need to get closer in before we can get a decent consensus.
